i To all c07zbmz'fmayc0n0em:

Be it known that I, MIKOLAJ Pi'o'rRowsKI,

i a subject of the Emperor of Austriafresiding at Elmira Heights, in the county of ighemung and State of New York-have invented certain new and useful Improvements in AlcoholeBurners, :of which the following is specification.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive burner structure whereby canned fuel may be readily employed for cooking or warming purposes. a

r A further object of the invention is the provision of a device that is easy and ineX- pensive to manufacture to be employed for cooking and heating purposes, the same being compactly arranged when not in use ready to be set up for instant use when desired.

In the drawing forming part of this application and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a central radial sectional view of the device in its folded arrangement.

Fig. 2 is a similar view thereof when set up for use.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the supporting grid, the legs being illustrated by dotted lines in their folded positions.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a hinging portion of the grid, and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the hinged portion of one of the legs detached'from the grid.

the device is in use, the said grid 18 having Referring more in detail to the drawing, a can-shaped outercasing 10 is provided having a removable covering 11 externally screw-threaded thereon while a container 12 is concentrically positioned within the said casing, preferably secured in place by means of a central rivet 13 extending through the known'form, such for instance asa composition of soap and alcohol, a removable cover 17 being provided for the top of the container12 and spaced from the lid 11 of the casing 10 when the device is closed.

A circular grid 18 is provided for use with the device for suitably supporting any article for heating above the container 12 when casing 10.

Specification of Letters Patent. 1 Patented Ji ly 16, 1918, Application filed March20, 191s. Seria1No. 223,504. Y i

a plurality of legs'19 connected to the grid use, with the lower ends of said legs'seated within sockets20 provided therefor in the The legs 19' are preferably formed of strip metal having an opposite loop '21 at the top thereof for pivoting upon a pintle 22 formed in a depressed portion 23 of the grid 18 by providing a longitudinal slot 21 in the said depressed portion.- An angular finger 25 projects from the loop 21 adapted for upward movement into seating position within a notch 26 at the outer edge of the depressed portion 23 of the grid as best illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawing.

It will be seen that the legs 19 may be readily folded inwardly in overlapping relations beneath the grid 18 as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawing when the device is not in use, at which times the grid is inclosed between the cover 17 of the container and the lid 11 of the casing 10, presenting a compact position for convenience in carrying the device. The legs 19 are readily unfolded and swung outwardly to their substantially vertical arrangement perpendicular to the grid 18 when desired for use, with the fingers 25 seated within the outer notches 26 of the grid. The fingers 25 function as stop members limiting the outward hinging movements of the legs as well as affording stronger supporting connections between the grid and legs.

Inwardly projecting ears 27 are provided for the grid 18 for assisting in supporting articles which are placed upon the grid. When the grid 18 is open and mounted over the container 12 with the said cover and lid removed, the material 16 may be lighted for heating or cooking articles positioned upon the grid 18. The cover 17 may he,

therefore, readily applied for closing the container 12 and the legs 19 of the grid 18 closed and the grid positioned upon the top of the casing 10 while the lid 11 may then be placed uponthe said casing inclosing the grid therein. A serviceable and inexpensive heating device is thus provided, it being understood that any form of fuel desired may be providedin the container 12.

What I claim as new is 1. A grid for burners, comprising an annular member having side depressions, each depression being provided with a longitudinal slot and an outer side notch, a supporttion of the grid 1 ing inwardly of the adjacent one of slots, the said leg having an integral stop finger projecting from the loop thereof supportingly arranged leeneath the outer portion of the adjacent depression aridseated Within the outer notch thereof.
